I am currently Re-reading and editing this story, then I'll start writing new chapters again.

Enjoy


Cold Ice Burning in the Heart

Prologue

Slowly a girl walked alongside the road, what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. It was pouring rain, cold, and dark out. She looked forward without stopping, letting the rain fall down her face. Headlights continued to blind her sight, as one by one car's sped by her.

Her head was pounding and her body felt weak as she took a couple more steps forward, before she fell to her knees. She grabbed her right shoulder, blood quickly streamed over her hand.

The blood seeped out of four places on her body, causing a small puddle of blood to start forming around her knees. As the rain washed most of it away, and she didn't bother to try and stop it. A car shone its headlights into her eyes and she remembered what had happened earlier that day.

Flash Back

"Kierra! Don't make it hard on yourself. Come out from where ever you are. Join us, be by my side. Don't make me have to hurt you." A tall man with blackish, silver hair yelled out.

He was standing in the middle of a lobby, of a destroyed old building. Dust was flying everywhere as small rodents scampered by startled from the loud noises, only in the building for protection against the rain. His yellow, grey eyes scanned the room and what he could see of the second and third floors. Kierra sat as still as she could, in a small spot against a wall on the second floor. She was hiding behind some old dusty boxes.

"Never! You're a bastard and so is your organization! Why don't you just go to hell, Darcius!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed throughout the entire building, making it hard to find its exact origin. Five more men were searching each of the floors already, looking for her. For a second everything became extremely quiet.

"Found you" came a whisper to her ear, as one of the men who were searching for her stood above her. A grin was spread across his face. It didn't last long as Kierra quickly whacked him in the face with a metal pole, and then ran as fast as she could away from him, dropping the pole.

"Why you bitch!" she heard him yell as she turned a corner only to come face to face with another one of Darcius's cronies. As she came to a quick stop her golden silver hair swung in front of her face. It fell back down to about a little past her butt. He gave a half grin at her as he started walking forward again. Kierra's dull green, silver speckled eyes, widened in shock, before she quickly turned around to run again. She immediately stopped, the man she hit before, in front of her.

"We've got you cornered. Now I think it's payback for that swing you took at me," the man had a mark with blood dripping across his face. In his hands was the same pole she had used.

She backed into one of the wood pillars. Her face showing no trace of emotions. Within a second he plunged the pole into her upper right shoulder, pinning her to the wall. She screamed out in pain as the pole entered her arm. Her arm felt as if it was on fire. She could feel her pulse pounding in the back of her head.

After that she didn't say anything not even cry. Her head fell forward, hair covering her eyes. She tilted her head up some, revealing an angry look in her eyes. Blood spilling quickly from around the pole in her shoulder.

"Carlos! I told you I didn't want her to be hurt. But it's too late now, I warned her about being stubborn. Garland! Go get the others; we got what we came for." It was quiet after Garland, and Carlos turned the corner.

He inspected Kierra for any other wounds then looked her straight in the eyes. "Why do the pretty ones always have to be so stubborn?" He paused before continuing," You know, none of this would have happened if you had come peacefully. None of your friends would have been killed. It's your fault you know." He said playing with her hair.

She jerked her head away from his touch, a pissed look in her eyes. "You bastard! You had no right to kill them! They didn't do anything! They weren't involved in any of this!"

She started to yell loudly, before he cut her off covering her mouth with his hand. She heard slow steady footsteps, most likely from the first floor.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?" an old voice yelled out from the first floor. While Darcius was busy looking towards the railing, Kierra hastily jerked the metal pole out of her shoulder, swinging it at Darcius, hitting him right in the shoulder. She sprinted to the first floor holding her arm tightly. She saw the old man standing there in front of the door.

"Run! It's not safe here!" she yelled at the old man. As she almost had reached him, before a gun was fired. The bullet hit the old man straight in the head. With that Kierra turned to where the bullet had come from, then turned back to the door and ran.

Jolts of pain spread through her body as she was shot in her upper right leg, left waist, and between her right hand and elbow. She kept moving even though she was starting to go numb. She she spotted an ally way that was next to the building and ran into it.

The rain blurred her vision at first, but she quickly got use to it, she made it away from them all. 'I might be free for now, but for how long? I'm alone, my friends are dead, and I'm on the verge of bleeding to death.

End flash back

She leaned forward and fell to the ground completely. Her vision started to get hazy; she saw a car pull over. Two people got out of the car rushing to her side. She listened to them yell, and panic, one called 911, and the other came over to her and started asking her questions.

Soon after, she heard sirens blaring through the cold night air. The rain was getting lighter, but the temperature was dropping. She passed out as she was lifted onto the stretcher.
